Wang Chong left Han Fei in Huai, but did not stop attacking Korea. Since being defeated by Huai and Qin several times, the territory of Korea has shrunk by half, and the army is no more than 100,000. In the face of Huai's attack, it was simply powerless to resist.

Xu Chao led the 20th Army from Luoyi to attack Korea in the east, and the Korean army was no match at all. Xu Chao defeated the Korean army in a battle, and the Korean army was defeated. Xu Chao drove straight in and directly surrounded Xinzheng.

Korea sent envoys to Wei, Zhao, Qin, and Qi for help, but before these vassal states could send a large army to rescue, the king of Han could not stop the Huai army.

200,000 Huai troops besieged Xinzheng, but on the first day, the army attacked the city, and almost captured the city. Seeing that the Huai army was so strong, King Han knew that Xinzheng would not be able to support the Zhao and Wei coalition forces to come to the rescue. If he waited until Xinzheng City was broken, it would be impossible for him to surrender again.

He made a decision in his heart, and that night, the king of Han sent an envoy to ask Xu Chao to express his willingness to surrender.

So on the second day of the siege of the city, the king of Han ordered someone to open the city gate, and then led the children of the Korean royal family, concubines and nobles in the city to surrender to Xu Chao. Xu Chao immediately sent people to control all the treasury, army, warehouse, palace and intersection city wall in Xinzheng City. Then, after accepting the surrender of Korea, all the Korean royal concubines and concubines were sent to Jinling, Huaiguo.

At this point, Korea, which had been inherited for more than 100 years, came to an end.

The speed of Korea's demise was extremely fast, and before Wei could react, Korea was gone. Although the king of Han surrendered, Shangdang County, because it was in the north of the river and close to Zhao, was bewitched by Zhao after learning that King Han had surrendered, and then took refuge in Zhao under the leadership of the county guard.

Shangdang County is located in the north of the Great River, surrounded by continuous mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After learning that Shangdang County had defected to Zhao State, Wang Chong was furious and immediately sent an envoy to Zhao State to ask Zhao State to return Shangdang County and ask Zhao State to hand over Shangdang Taishou.

The envoys of Huai came all the way to Zhao and met the king of Zhao.

"King, Han Jun has surrendered to my Huai State, the land of Korea is naturally the land of Huai State, Shangdang County is too shou to commit treason, and I also ask King Zhao to let Shangdang County out, and at the same time hand over Shangdang County Taishou to Huai State for disposal." After the envoy of Huai State saw King Zhao, he immediately expressed Huai Guo's request.

When King Zhao heard the envoy of Huai Guo say such unceremonious words, his face suddenly became a little unbearable. The minister next to him saw King Zhao's unswerving face and immediately stepped forward and said: "King Han has no virtue, and the three armies are unwilling to fight, so although he surrendered, the Shangdang was unwilling to obey the surrender of the unvirtuous people, so he led the Shangdang 100,000 soldiers and civilians to surrender to my Zhao State!" ”

"King Zhao is unwilling to hand over Shangdang and Shangdang Taishou to me Huaiguo?" The envoy of Huaiguo said expressionlessly.

"It's not that I, Zhao Guo, are unwilling to hand it over, but that the military and civilians of the Shangdang are unwilling to enter Huaiye!"

"The foreign minister understands what King Zhao means, and the foreign minister will tell me what King Zhao means!" The envoy of Huai did not stay in Zhao for a long time, and early the next morning, he left Zhao and returned to Huai.

Seeing the envoy of Huai Guo leaving, King Zhao asked with some concern: "Huai Guo is so aggressive, if you get nothing, I'm afraid you won't give up, why don't you hand over the party to Huai Guo?" ”

"The king must not!" Lin Xiangru, who had been silent next to him, hurriedly stepped forward. Before, he didn't agree with Zhao Guo to accept the surrender of Shangdang Taishou, but King Zhao and other ministers agreed, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only acquiesce, and now he saw that King Zhao was scared because of the envoy of Huaiguo, and sighed in his heart, how can he become a great weapon if he is not firm in his will? Immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"King, Shangdang Taishou surrendered to my Zhao State, dedicated Shangdang, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians, with great merit, if it is handed over to Huai State, I am afraid that my Zhao State will become a laughing stock."

"What's more, if you give it to Huai Guo without dividing such rewards and punishments, the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, no one will surrender to my Zhao State, and it will definitely cause a catastrophe."

King Zhao immediately hesitated, and finally said: "Since this is the case, then forget it!" ”

"Your Majesty, Huai has suffered a big loss, and this time he will definitely not stop, and he also asks you to give an order, mobilize the army, requisition grain and grass, prevent Huai from attacking, and at the same time send envoys to Qin and Yan. Let the two countries prepare, and once Huai State attacks, they will send troops to attack Huai State. Lin Xiangru said.

Lian Po and Zhao Hao next to him also agreed, advising King Zhao to recruit a large army to prevent a surprise attack by Huai.

After the envoy of Huai State left Zhao State, he immediately sent someone to report to Jinling!

In Jinling City, the sky has just dawned, and the morning sun shines on the big point.

At this time, everyone in the Qianyuan Palace was discussing state affairs, and after hearing that Zhao refused to hand over Shangdang County and Shangdang County Guard, Wang Chong immediately snorted coldly and said: "King Zhao is greedy, take me Shangjun, and order Xu Chao to lead the army north to capture Zhao, this time I will definitely teach Zhao a lesson!" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhao and Qin have formed an alliance, once they fight with Zhao, I am afraid that Qin and Yan will also fight, and when the time comes, it will be even more involved, and it will definitely be a big war when the three kingdoms send troops, please think twice." The minister next to him hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, this faction of nonsense, Huai is strong, Qin, Zhao, Yan are deeply afraid, if this time my Huai State is weak and does not attack Zhao State, I will definitely think that my Huai State is weak and can be bullied, and I will no longer be afraid of my Huai State from now on, this time because the three countries join forces and do not dare to fight, if the three countries join forces again in the future to annex other places again, will my Huai Kingdom fight or not?" Wei Zhan scolded.

The two sides did not give in to each other, constantly arguing, and the hall was very lively for a while.

"Alright." Wang Chong said in a deep voice, and suddenly everyone stopped arguing and didn't dare to say more.

Wang Chong is different from his father, King Huaihuan, who is more forgiving to his ministers, and Wang Chongke is not so easy to speak. If there is any transgression, he will be reprimanded, punished with fines and reduced duties.

After seeing that everyone stopped, Wang Chong said: "This time to swallow Korea, Zhao State seized the party, if it is not pursued because of the alliance of the three countries, then how will my Huai State deal with itself in the future?" ”

"Send 200,000 troops from the country to the north again, obey Xu Chao's dispatch, and then attack Shangdang County and take Shangdang back for me."

"Whoa!"

Hearing that the army was being drawn continuously, many generals in the main hall immediately responded.

The 200,000 army went north, and after the army made peace with Xu Chao, Xu Chao led the army of 400,000 to attack Shangdang County.

After hearing that the Huai army sent 400,000 troops, Qin immediately ordered Bai Qi to lead an army of 200,000 from the east of the river to carry out Huai, and on the other side was to attack Huai Guo through Wuguan to reduce the pressure on Zhao, and if there was an opportunity, he would take the opportunity to occupy Nanyang or Hangu Pass.
